Kada mene nema

Ja sam ti bila k'o dobra vila
a sada ti kazem, ljubavi
da suze mi vise drage nisu
a nisi mi vise drag ni ti
Ref. 2x
Kada mene nema
srce tvoje pati
ljubav koja nestane
nece da se vrati
Kada mene nema
vreme tvoje stane
molis i zoves
mrzis takve dane
Mogu ja sama do kraja dana
da lutam i trazim promene
kad mesec zablista, ja ostajem ista
muzika zove, vreme je
